In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 3:14-22Laodicea
About Revelation 3Sardis has "a name that thou livest, and art dead," and must "Be watchful," though a few "have not defiled their garments." Philadelphia, which "hast a little strength, and hast kept my word," is given "an open door, and no man can shut it." Laodicea is "neither cold nor hot," says "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing," and is told, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent," for "I stand at the door, and knock."
